On VMS the standard for editors is to make them "callable", so they
can be activated in a uniform fashion by either the (minimal) EDIT
program or any other application that needs an editor. So the user
gets their choice of editor with their choice of program.
From what I have read here, neither GPL nor other "open source"
licenses place any restrictions on interactions between components
in this sort of situation, since they are in separate images.
